Very nice place. Not quite as cool as the Georgia Aquarium, but it holds its own. Great place to go with kids.

Not much to do downtown compared to other cities like Atlanta or New York. The aquarium was large and full of things to. Will bring my grandchildren the next time.
One day we decide to go and found out what the cost was and was shocked ro see what the cost we did not want to buy the place just and wanted to see the place the food was nasty and very expensive as well
Had a good time, if you like that kind of thing. The aquarium is fine - a little different but entertaining.
Only issue is finding it. Tampa could do a better job with signage to help tourists (and locals!) to find their way around this district. But rare among aquaria, it takes the perspective of water's journey through Florida from ponds and lakes to aquifers and springs to bayous to ocean, and the flora and fauna inhabiting each.
It is beautiful by nature but there is not much to see. You can do the whole aquarium in 30 minutes if there are no crowds.
A wonderful trip to the Florida Aquarium was my birthday gift this year! This is a well maintained facility with a nice variety of exhibits. While there we also experienced the Penguin Encounter - well worth the extra fee. It was very interesting and fun to see the penguins up close. I'm 48 years old and learned things about penguins...

Florida Aquarium is a great place to spend the day sitting on the bench in front of the large glass tank watching the fish swim by. The sea horse exhibit is fascinating. Love this place!
Kids went to the aquarium while we went to the Colombian Restaurant. All were happy. They saw turtles we eat black beans and rice.
Not much there and not worth the money. We have been to other aquariums and this one was very small. We saw it all in about an hour.
